Tami Labul

Tami Labul is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine and Idaho with 20 years of experience. She works with adults and teens facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. Her practice also addresses self-esteem, bipolar challenges, and navigating major life changes.

Tami uses a mix of approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. She draws on client-centered methods to listen and build on strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are used to increase awareness and to reframe difficult experiences.

Her background includes long-term work in local mental health settings. That experience exposed her to many kinds of trauma, abuse recovery, and grief work. She has worked with men, women, and teens from varied faiths and cultures and identifies as LGBTQ affirming.

In sessions she focuses on practical skills and coping strategies. Clients learn concrete tools to manage anxiety, respond to family conflict, or navigate life transitions. She also pays attention to attachment, abandonment, and family of origin issues when relevant.

Tami offers phone and video sessions and checks messages regularly during the week. Sessions are scheduled by appointment and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Tami’s approaches translate to online sessions

Tami uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize what the person brings to each session and to build on existing strengths. That approach focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the client, which can be helpful for stress, relationship concerns, and low self-esteem.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to target thought and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety or depression. CBT sessions typically involve practical exercises and homework to try between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to help with emotional regulation and grounding during times of high stress or trauma reminders.

Finding the right fit is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to prioritize based on goals, symptoms, and how comfortable the person feels with each approach. That decision is revisited over time as needs change.

Her biography lists phone and video sessions as offered formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
